December 5th, 2010

So... its been a crazy two-ish weeks. Thanksgiving was a bust. I gained 1 pound from Thanksgiving weekend... which is expected because I had a hard time counting my calories that week. 
This week I gained 1 pound.. and I'm not exactly sure. I did every thing that I was supposed to, I am just assuming that I gained a pound in muscle or something like that... or maybe I am just retaining water or something. So, in the long run, I have gained 2 lbs... but Its alright!! I'll just keep doing what I need to do, and everything should be fine... next weekend will be great!!!
PEACE AND BLESSINGS

WOOOOOO!

Today, Sunday the 21st of November, I weighed at 3 lbs lighter than last week!!! This means that I have lost a total of 12 lbs in about 4 ish weeks! 
This is going so great! I feel so much confidence in myself, and I also feel so committed this time, its not even funny. Its getting to the point where I DO my exercises and I DO my calorie counting because it isn't an option not to.
I feel a lot better than I have, I have a lot more energy now than I did 4 weeks ago (and my pants are mysteriously getting slowly bigger!!)
This is so great.. at this rate, I will more than be at my weight goal by January 2012 and that means that me and my roommate will GO TO DISNEYWORLD!!
This is so fun. I never would have categorized weight loss in the "fun"... but it totally is now :)
PEACE AND BLESSINGS

Meh.. there will be better weeks.

Well, bad news people. Today I found out that I gained 1 lb for this week. BUT I refuse to take it as a setback!!! I've been working out my muscles quite a bit, and muscle weighs more than fat... so maybe I lost some fat, but gained some muscle?? I don't know, but I also don't feel like it was the best week ever... I will make it up by being amazing next week :)
I went over on my calories just a tiny bit a couple of the days this past week, and I think that might have been a contributer to this weeks tiny set back. So, I vow to do a lot better this week! 
PEACE AND BLESSINGS

WOOO! Good day :)

Today, November 7th, I weighed at 3 lbs lighter than last sunday! this means I have lost a total of 10 lbs in two weeks :) things are going REALLY great. Its getting easier and easier to keep to my eating rules, and my working out rules. (especially when i got a hot guy to do it for!) and also, I just have so much more motivation this time! 
This week I did actually miss one day of exercising, but I made sure every day I counted my calories under 1800. I feel really great.
As requested, next time I will have a picture to post for a before and after. :) EXCITEMENT!!
     peace and blessings!

October 31, 2010 HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Yes!! Happy Halloween, here is 7 pounds shed!!

I lost 7 pounds this week, and I'll be honest... I missed a day of exercise, and I ate candy yesterday. Imagine what next week will be like if I don't eat candy and I don't miss any exercising!!!
I did, however, count my calories every single day this week, and I kept it under 1800 for every single day. 
I feel pretty dang good about myself, and I can't wait to do it again next week.

Tomorrow starts the beginning of a 14 month period where I will lose 93 lbs by January of 2012. (Last week was a practice run for me and my roommate, and we BOTH lost weight) Tomorrow we will start marking on our sticker calendars for every day we do what we're supposed to. These are the requirements:
MWF we do 30 minutes of cardio
T TH we do 15-20 minutes of weight training.
Every day we count our calories to the DOT and we have to keep it under our specified amount. (as i said before, my amount is 1800 for the time being)

That is basically my plan for now... till next Sunday!!
Love, Jess
PEACE AND BLESSINGS

Back to Reality

Dear Blog and people:

     So it's been about 2 months since I've logged on... and I feel really horrible. The good news is, I've lost 5 lbs!! (I pretty much lost that much in the last week ;)  

Me and my roommate have devised a plan to lose weight together... and here's the plan:

We have until the first  of January 2012 to meet our weight loss goals. (I need to lose about 95 lbs by then, making it about 7 to 8 lbs lost in a month)We are basically starting on Monday the 1st of November, and I will blog weekly about what I've done and if I've lost or if I've gained.

We have monthly goal points, a halfway goal point, and then our end goal point... being 2012. If we have met our goals by Jan of 2012, then that April, we will go to Disneyworld together... just the two of us!

This past week was basically a practice week to get us into the habit of counting calories every day, and working out every day. And this week, i lost 5 lbs so far. 

I will blog on Sunday of every week to track my progress, and to keep the world updated. 

For some reason I feel so much more motivated to do this, (and it might have to do with a certain cleansing of bad influences in my life) but I actually want to! I can only imagine how much better I am going to feel once I'm done, and how much better I will look, and how much more my body can do, and the less sick I will get. Plus, I do not want to someday develop type 2 diabetes... because that would just be a nightmare. 

 Thanks for the support!

PEACE AND BLESSINGS. 

Day... okay i'm done counting days.

Weeelll. Now that I'm back at school... I don't feel very much structure. Today is Saturday... so on Monday I'm going to start my work out regimend of every other day from 5:30 to 6:30 in the gym. I just love my school's gym cause it has structure... unlike some of the other places I've had to work out at. 

When I went grocery shopping yesterday I bought a whole bunch of healthy food to encourage myself to eat healthy and also so that I don't have much opportunity to eat bad anyway. I bought lettuce, and carrots, and apples and other arrays of assorted vegetables and fruit. THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME. 

ps. I know what your thinking... "All she's doing is talking about what she wants to do.. and she's not really doing it!!"... well don't worry folks... I have it all planned out. Once my life gets situated here at school, I can easily start a schedule for healthy living. 
    PEACE AND BLESSINGS

Day 2

Day 2: Today was a pretty good day. I had 4 small meals, and I worked out for about 30 minutes. The only bad thing was that for dinner, I had a mcdonalds hamburger... :S. I figure.. oh well. I lost about 10 lbs since I got back from my vacation on sunday, so I guess I just decided to reward myself with a hamburger. ha ha.

I'm feeling pretty good so far... I can't wait to get to school where there is a structured gym I can go to for free :) THAT will be awesome.

Day 1

Day 1: Today was actually really good for me. I didn't have time to work out, but I ate really really good. I had a corn dog (i love those!!) and a peach this morning... then I ate a bagel and cream cheese at work... then I had a 6 inch subway sandwich. Yeah its not a lot, but I didn't ever feel hungry!!.. So I feel good about it. Tomorrow I plan to run for 20 minutes and do some weight stuff... but I also do some physical stuff at work. 


I read somewhere today that eating more meals a day will help you lose weight. I figure if I eat 5 meals a day... Breakfast-Snack-Lunch-Snack-Dinner... then that should be a good start. 


I really love having this blog and feeling accountable to at least the internet. It makes me feel like I can do this!!

The Beginning

To whomever, and if anyone ever takes some time to read my blog... this is my Weight Loss Blogging Experience. It has been too long that I have let myself go, and it is time to get control of my life and get healthy. I figure that I can't keep it a secret or keep it on a low down anymore, because I never get anywhere by myself. I need people to be accountable to, and if this is the way to do it... then this is the way to do it. Even if no one in the world ever reads my blog, then that would be fine with me anyway. It helps my thought processes and motivation if I put it somewhere public. So for future readers... Thank you for your support. :)
